LEO Personality

TRUST gets leo killed. LOVE gets leo hurt and BEING REAL gets leo hated.

Leo is one of the most toughest people you will have ever come across with the biggest heart.

A leo is very good at connecting the dots, even if it appears absurd.

When you disrespect a leo, you should be prepared for a temper that is hotter than a furnace.

They can be too trusting but they can always tell when you are genuine or just full of shit.

WARNING FOR LEO'S ENEMY:

They can debase their opponent with a piercing comeback. Just like a lion stalks it's prey, a leo can totally destroy you.

Although leo's are very very loyal but they do not give loyalty to those who are not worthy of it.

Leos are upfront and honest. If they don't like you, they'll say so.

A leo is a great analyst, problem is they can't help but recognize and correct the bullshit.

Leos may be friendly, but know they are watching every nuance, every glance and taking notes of who is safe and who is not.

The jealousy card doesn't work with a leo. If anything, they get annoyed and find someone who doesn't play games.

Leos are not intentionally hurtful to anyone, in fact they keep quiet about a lot. It's only when they are attacked that they become that vicious lion.

A leo can make their own way in the world and doesn't need to rely on anyone or anything.

One thing leo doesn't like is someone who can't mind their own business and start throwing out assumptions with no clue about what's going on.

When you argue with a leo, better be prepared. They will counterattack everything you say and will overpower the argument.

What works for them? The little things.

Leo has no problem being vocal about the things or people they can't stand.
A leo doesn't need anyone to make them happy.

Never cross a leo. Once you realize the mistake you made by doing so, they have already launched an attack. 

Try to spend a couple of days with a leo and you will never want to leave. They will definitely light up your world. 

There are no hidden agendas with a leo. What you see is what you get and that's how its going to remain

If only people who have closed minds have closed mouths.

He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.

~Samuel Johnson

~ The great corrupter of public man is the ego. Looking at the mirror distracts one's attention from the problem. ~

"It’s easy to feel uncared for when people aren’t able to communicate and connect with you in the way you need. And it’s so hard not to internalize that silence as a reflection on your worth. But the truth is that the way other people operate is not about you. Most people are so caught up in their own responsibilities, struggles, and anxiety that the thought of asking someone else how they’re doing doesn’t even cross their mind. They aren’t inherently bad or uncaring – they’re just busy and self-focused. And that’s okay. It’s not evidence of some fundamental failing on your part. It doesn’t make you unlovable or invisible. It just means that those people aren’t very good at looking beyond their own world. But the fact that you are – that despite the darkness you feel, you have the ability to share your love and light with others – is a strength. Your work isn’t to change who you are; it’s to find people who are able to give you the connection you need. Because despite what you feel, you are not too much. You are not too sensitive or too needy. You are thoughtful and empathetic. You are compassionate and kind. And with or without anyone’s acknowledgment or affection, you are enough. "

— Daniell Koepke

There is simply no escaping it. Sooner or later, you are going to run into and have to deal with an angry and bitter person or persons. Unfortunately, it's a fact of life. Someone is angry, bitter, upset, jealous,mad, enraged, and you just happened to cross their path. So what one should do when they are faced with this wild beast known as an angry human and they are bent on taking their frustrations with their life out on you?

There are several options open in how to handle an out of control person. Remember that for a person with chronic anger control issues, the anger is their problem, it's eating at them. It's not about you at all. You just happen to be the one they are crying out to for help. How you choose to deal with the angry person can not only help you but perhaps even help lead the angry person to peace.

The first option would be to run the other way. 

The second option is to strike back with a vengeance. This is human nature. When someone hurts you, our first initial reaction is often to return hurt for hurt and pain for pain. But this isn't right. Returning vengeance for a wrong done only makes you look bad, and it only puts a burden on your heart. The angry person is seeking love and acceptance, but often they are so filled with anger, bitterness, strife, and jealously that love simply has no room in their heart.

The third option is the hardest but the most rewarding, and that is to listen to the person and let them throw all the anger they can muster at you because the angry person isn't really striking at us to hurt us, even though that often happens. They are striking at us in hopes that we are strong enough to handle what they are throwing at us, needing someone not to run away, but to listen to them.

My Simple Philosophy

If it's not your life, then it's not your story to tell.

I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.
Alice Roosevelt Longworth

I would rather surround myself with people who make a lot of mistakes and have no problem  admitting them, than to surround myself with people who think THEY HAVE MADE NONE.

If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does.

I am a big believer in Karma. What you do to other people will come back to you. And no matter how big or small or how unimportant you may feel about yourself or your life it's what you do to others and what you leave behind is how your name is going to be carried through. If you only touch one person's life that person will remember you and tell stories of you.

Every man who says fully and frankly what he thinks, is doing PUBLIC SERVICE.

For those who believe, no proof is necessary, for those who don't, no proof is acceptable. 

Most bad behavior comes from INSECURITY.

MAKE EVERYDAY COUNT! Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people who you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, even if it doesn't seem right because you are too young or too far, just follow your heart. Surround yourself with those who make you smile, laugh, and make you happy. 

Break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create your own life then LET GO and LIVE IT! 

Standing for what you believe in regardless of the odds against you, and the pressure that tears at your resistance
...is Courage.

Keeping a smile on your face when inside you feel like dying, for the sake of supporting others 
...is Strength.

Stopping at nothing and doing what's in your heart that you know is right

...is Determination.

Doing more than is expected, to make another's life a little more bearable, without uttering a single complaint
...is Compassion.

Helping a friend in need, no matter the time or effort, to the best of your ability
...is Loyalty.

Holding your head high And being the best you know you can be when life seems to fall apart at your feet,
...is Fortitude.

Facing each difficulty with thoughts that time will bring you better tomorrows, And never giving up
...is Confidence.

“If you can DREAM it, you can DO it.”

“A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory.” 
(Arthur Golden)

Before you can become a millionaire, you must learn to think like one. You must learn how to motivate yourself to counter fear with courage. Making critical decisions about your career, business, investments and other resources conjures up fear, fear that is part of the process of becoming a financial success. 
Thomas J. Stanley 

Work hard. And have patience. Because no matter who you are, you're going to get hurt in your career and you have to be patient to get through the injuries.  
Randy Johnson

No one can discover you until you do. Exploit your talents, skills and strengths and make the world sit up and take notice. 

—Rob Liano 

Know the difference between your hobbies and your passions.
—B.S. Wood

Some people make enough, some people don’t, and it has nothing to do with their paycheck. 
—Janene Murphy

If you’re not the hero of your talent story, you simply become a player in one you didn’t choose.
—Jay Perry

Don’t be in a hurry about finding your work in the world for yourself—you are not old enough to judge for yourself yet; but just look about you in the place you find yourself in, and try to make things a little better and honester there.
—Thomas Hughes

If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat! Just get on.
— Sheryl Sandberg

Feeling confident – or pretending that you feel confident – is necessary to reach for opportunities. It’s a cliché, but opportunities are rarely offered; they’re seized. 
— Sheryl Sandberg 

“Failure doesn’t mean you are a failure it just means you haven’t succeeded yet.”  
(Robert H. Schiller)

“Desire! That’s the one secret of every man’s career. Not education. Not being born with hidden talents. Desire.”  
(Johnny Carson)
